Overview:

By February, elements from the Soviet 297th Rifle Division had successfully fought their way toward the Southern Railway Station. After two days of heavy fighting, infantry aided by Soviet armored units had isolated the area around the station and encircled the defending “Florian Geyer” squadrons. Because of the Deli Palyaudvar’s strategic importance as the last major fortified structure west of the Vermezo, the exhausted and malnourished German troops were ordered to hold their defensive positions as relief was on its way. On 8 February, one such relief attempt was made by a platoon from the Hungarian 102nd Chemical Warfare Battalion.

2022-05-13(D) Jeff B vs John Fedoriw German (SS) / Hungarian win2.25 hrsAll I can say is this one was crazy. We both had extreme dice, and rolled each other's sniper multiple times. Between that and some hot Russian shooting I was down to two crews and 3.5 squads in the factory after Turn 1, only one of whom retained concealment. Two German were also generated, one in the factory and one outside. After Russian Turn 2 things were even more grim, with me being knocked down to one crew and 1.5 squads. I was almost ready to throw in the towel, but thought I'd at least play through the end of my turn. I had decided to rout some units outside, and this turned out to be a great choice when a full squad rallied in the barely defended south. A sleaze freeze and some atrocious Russian shooting during my moves freed up the one remaining full squad in the factory to make a break for the east. Meanwhile my reinforcements were safely pouring towards the factory due to yet more atrocious Russian shooting to help hold or retake it. This also freed up my southern self-rallied squad to make a break up the middle toward the east, and my opponent felt there'd be no way to stop both of them and conceded. Only afterwards did I realize my troops should not have been able to CX due to the 2/8 date. This one would be very difficult for the Axis with this in effect.
